supervisor stefani? >> supervisor c. stefani: thank you, supervisor peskin. i want to echo my colleagues gratitude for the process and the budget and finance committee. supervisor fewer, yee and sheehy and to president cohen. it was an amazingly-smooth process. and also, i have to say, it was fun at times. because president cohen is not dry when it comes to budget and finance. one would think numbers could be, but not when chair cohen is leading us through budget and finance. so i want to really thank you for the process. it was truly remarkable how smooth it went. i was a legislative aide for three years so i especially want to call out the legislative aide who helped us through because we can't do it without them and call out the public safety investments and through the add-back process, the domestic violence consortium. i think we did a lot for women in this budget and i was very proud to co-sponsor with president ronen the s.h.a.r.p. office and i want to call out the survivors who came out to tell us the stories. we wouldn't have that investment if we ha

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yes.i'd like to approve supervisor yee's nomination for dense i say richard for a four-year term ending july 31, 2022, and approve supervisor fewer's nomination for kathrin moore for a four term ending july 31, 2022. >> supervisor safai: can we do that without objection? without objection, that matter is sent to the full board of supervisors. please call item three -- oh, maybe we can do three and four together. >> clerk: just to clarify, item one and two have been amended to approve the appointment, and those are forwarded to the full task force with recommendation. item number three is it a motion approving, rejecting the mayor's nomination of the appointment of rodney fong to the planning department for a term ending july 31, 2022, item four is a motion approving, rejecting the mayor's nomination of the appointment of milicent johnson to the planning department for a term ending july 31, 2022. >> supervisor safai: commissioner fong, please come forward. >> president fong: good afternoon

we are joined by stefanie holtze-jen.r, atg at the the bottom of a trading range for three months, are we taking a pause in a run-up of the dollar or is this the beginning? answer,: the correct the jury is still out whether we are seeing the last leg of euro-dollar downside or having seen the reversal. from our perspective, having our was -- 115 was hit. romaine: what risk do you see to your call? some of the fundamentals that pushed the dollar higher earlier in the year seem to be somewhat in question going forward through the rest of the year. stefanie: we are still working on the same assumptions in terms of the fundamentals. as we saw today on the second quarter gdp revision up. in europe. what stays with us by the political risks. they are weighing on both sides. -- sorry.out two them, look at two of looking at europe versus the u.s., political risk in europe, we do not only have italy but we have continued momentum for let's say populist politics going on. sweden is 1.5 weeks away to call a general election. looming

supervisor stefani. >> supervisor a. safai: [chuckles] i don't think i have anything else to talk about today. >> clerk: supervisor stefani? supervisor yee? > supervisor n. yee: submit. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor brown. >> submit. >> clerk: thank you. president cohen? >> president m. cohen: thank you. i have two inmemoriams. a long time san francisco son passed away. james real gomez, executive director of the san mateo county labor council. and i would like to read inmemoriam for mr. frederick robert gomez, also known as "fast freddie". he was given this name because he was often found racing on alameda highway on one of his hot rods or harleys as a teenager. he survived by his wife of 54 years, mrs. diane gomez. his children, grandchildren, host of many nieces and nephews. mr. frederick gomez passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. he is dearly missed by all of his friends and family. and colleagues the reason i'm bringing forward this at this time because i think it's important to recognize not only the

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yeah. just want to add, very supportive of commissioner fong who i've known a very long time, and commissioner johnson, who i've met recently and very impressed with both of this records. there's something that cory smith said that struck me, that i thought was good when he said that because someone's xyz, and he's xyz, that person is the best to represent somebody, and it got me thinking that just because someone is an xyz doesn't mean they weren't once before. so i think it's really important for us to all understand that commissioner richards said that it's really important to work with both sides. if you're not xyz, you need to reach over the aisle and understand xyz. the highest level of empathy requires profound purpose larger that the self-kind of understanding. so i am thinking, when he said that, it just struck me that it's really important to be able to identify with people, but that -- if you -- you have to be able to understand people that are different than yourself, and i hope

>> supervisor stefani: i do. first, i want to thank commissioner moore and commissioner richards for their service. i know there's a lot of hours on the planning commission. also, i just wanted to let you both know that i heard from many of my constituents, and you have many fans. so -- and i also went to the home of one of my constituents who is here today and to discuss commissioner moore's qualifications and their desire to see her reappointed, and it was a great meeting with my n constituents. and it was a great meeting, and i do thank them for having them in my home. i did have ha meeting with commissioner richards th-- moo, and i look forward to the opportunity of sitting down with commissioner richards. i like the opportunity of sitting down with both sides. it's something i value and try to do in my jobs, as well. supervisor yee touched on a lot of questions i have. obviously, we see the pull of wanting to build more housing because we are in a housing crisis, and the complaints that are driven by neighbo

oh, i'm sorry, supervisor stefani, please. >> supervisor stefani: i wanted to thank supervisor ronen again for her leadership on this and the amazing staff and for all of the survivors who have come out to share their stories and i have been so moved by that. i have met with many and i thank them for taking time to meet with me as well and i'm very happy to support this legislation and to see it go forward. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor fewer any remarks? all right, thank you. so, again, i make a motion to approve this legislation and send it to the full board with a positive recommendation (please stand by) -- to point out that the amendments that you aadopted last week actually were in some part aimed at accommodating the concerns from the p.v.t.s and that is why the new category for receipts above $50 million was included. >> supervisor cohen: all right, thank you. and public comment. i have two cards, first nima rahira and then kristen shoe macker and any other members would like to come, please step up. >> i'm here to ask you to please and respectfully to exclude pr

i would like to bring up catherine stefani. supervisor stefani? >> thank you supervisor brown. it is so great to be here today. i love that we shared this area. san francisco faces many challenges but we know that we can solve the dangers of the roadways and the city vision zero mission to eliminate all traffic deaths by 2024 is a vital one to every resident. i don't think many people notice about me, but before i was appointed supervisor, i was training for a triathlon. i was training for the escape for -- from alcatraz and i biked all over the city. one of the scariest moments on my bike was on ocean avenue, or actually, on the grey highway. i was riding my bike, at the car started to come into the lane as they were turning bright and i had to pound on the side of the fan so as not to get run over. i understand how important bicycle safety is and how important it is to make sure we are implementing changes in our roadways a cyclist feel safe and pedestrians feel safe so that our kids are safe. so to see this unravel today, to see all of this today is a very -- it is a long ti

stefany, good

. >> president cohen: supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: thank you, president cohen. anne, i will never forget meeting you when i was an aide to a supervisor, i just watched the documentary the times of harvey milk and you walked in the office and said you were anne cronenberg and i was star struck, so happy to meet you. i was in awe of the passion with which you pushed one of the greatest causes of our time, which was the acceptance of our lgbtq community and working for the first openly gay supervisor who accomplished so much, what was displayed in that movie, i was awe struck by you when i first met you and then to get to work with you over time, to work when you were at d.p.h., and the c.p.m.c. legislation and everything they were working on and at d.e.m. to see how you have turned that place around, i've always been in awe of everything that you bring and i'm going to miss your warmth, your passion, your kindness, the history you bring into the building and the work, and i think you are one-of-a-kind and thank you for everything you have done for me over the year

[laughter] stefanie: i will have to get back to you on that. alex: i think that question serves as a mandate for what is needed next. some of the research being done, particularly in women, peace, mandate some of there measures from how certain conflict resolution policies lead to more durable outcomes. i think that is one of the greatest resources in that regard in terms of public policy. in other sectors, i am not familiar offhand with additional research. also, as i said, i think this is a mandate for what needs to happen, and i hope that a number of the organizations got here both in the private and public sector can consider how we prioritize that work. quickwith that, a final word, a parting remark for our friends here today. anthony: i would just say, as i always tell groups that are looking to advance or move up the professional scale, i offered to organizations that are there, one, to be serious about improving diversity and inclusion. if you stay ready, you do not have to get ready. all alongthe strides the way, it will not pop up lik
